The illustration of the fire comes from the Muhlhauser Stadtchronik assembled by the artist Georg Andreas Sellman in 1790, and is the state archive in Mühlhausen. It is marked " Anno 1707 ...sind nebst der Kilians Kirchen 248 hausen abgebrand", "In the year 1707 248 houses were burned along with the St Kilians church".

There are more from the same source but few illustrations can have such an intimate connection in time to a Bach cantata..
